The notice was published in the Federal Register on May 2, 2001 (66 FR 22008).

At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.

All workers of OBG Manufacturing Company, OshKosh B'Gosh, Inc., Liberty, Kentucky (NAFTA-04468) and Albany, Kentucky (NAFTA-04468A) who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after January 12, 2000, through April 3, 2003, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.
